The message "pre-2.0.0 install?" suggests that you may have had
GenePattern installed for an older version of R than you are currently
using.

So I would recommend:

1. Update R to the latest stable release: R 2.1.0
2. Reinstall GenePattern (which is not a Bioconductor package, BTW, so
   I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask for GenePattern
   specific help.
